Set in 1890, the true story of Frank T. Hopkins unfolds as he is challenged to take part in a race across the ocean in Saudia Arabia to keep the name of the greatest long distance racer of all time. So now he must prove himself to the other half of the world by risking his life and the life of his horse to save something so precious to his indian brothers and sisters.

This was a really good movie and I was totally enthralled by the amazingness of the horses. Truly brilliant life that Frank T. Hopkins lived as said at the end of the film it was estimated he has won more than 400 long distance races.

Rating: 4 of 5 stars
